Book Fanatic. Seriously, I might have a problem, there are too many TBR books in my house. Outside of books, I'm just a normal woman living in the UK. My name is Hannah. I love playing on my Xbox (the Assassin's Creed series being a favourite of mine), I love colouring and have now amassed 30 colouring books. I love cooking and baking (especially cheesecakes) and experimenting with recipes on Pinterest. I love dogs, I have two Italian Greyhounds, Freddie who is twelve and a anti-social gentleman and Luca who is two and a crazy blur of beige. I am also a self confessed stationery addict and a member of Slytherin (I dare you to come for me!)
